What's included

3 deliverables in this treatment

  • Skin cleansing and preparation before acid application
  • Medical-grade peel (Neostrata glycolic or retinol) applied and neutralised by physician
  • Soothing protective cream applied post-peel

DermaStar offers medical-grade chemical peels using Neostrata glycolic acid (plant-derived) and a retinol peel option. The glycolic acid is applied to the face, neck, décolletage, or back (for acne), allowed to work for several minutes, then neutralised and rinsed. The treatment accelerates skin turnover, improving texture, brightness, and mild pigmentation without the downtime of laser resurfacing. A mild redness lasting several hours is normal. The clinic recommends a course of 3–4 sessions at 2–4 week intervals. Suitable from adolescence upward, including minors with parental consent for acne management.

About this treatment

Chemical peeling is a technique in which one or more exfoliating acids are applied to the skin to accelerate the natural turnover of the stratum corneum (the outermost dead-skin layer) and the upper layers of the viable epidermis. Controlled removal of these layers stimulates compensatory repair: fibroblasts increase collagen synthesis, keratinocytes proliferate, and new skin emerges smoother, more even in tone, and with a better-organised surface…
